Italy is on the verge of chaos . There were already clear signs of destruction as the world collapsed, but this is confined to humans .
It was a time for mutants to lay down a foundation just as humans developed from ancient times . And who knows? They might rebuild the world .
In this flow, mutants in Italy were living peacefully in their respective areas . That was until a demon full of madness appeared .
The demon that appeared out of nowhere destroyed, killed, and ate everything that was in its way . It was only quiet while resting .
It only took a few days for it to destroy an entire area .
It ran amuck like this for several months . It did not tire and only became worse . It is basically a natural disaster .
Beholder rolls a yellow eyeball . In front of him is the wreckage of what looks like a skyscraper .
“The first impact was the big hit, but the attack was divided as it walked through it . ”
“Mutating?”
“This isn’t just a normal mutation . It’s a whole body mutation . Hee hee!”
Beholder responded to Medusa’s question with confidence . His eye has the ability to see what other beings cannot .
He figured out that Cha Jun Sung is a mutant that can change at will just by looking at the wreckage, and that he can change his entire body .
The ability to mutate is an ability that varies in value by the beholder, whether it is seen as common or valuable . Nothing can imitate it unless it is at the highest level .
There is a difference between whole body and body part mutation . One can change the entire body at will in the former, and the latter means that only parts – like the arms or legs – are changeable .
“How many mutants are there that can do this?”
“There can’t be over 5 in all of levels 1 through 9 . And since it’s a level 8, there can only be Red Eye . I want to hurry up and meet him so I can see what he’s like . ”
“Just find him . ”
“Hmph!”
Beholder raised his hand . Hundreds of eyes the size of millets popped up .
They split into hundreds and thousands like cell division to be implemented in various ways like searching for a target or surveillance .
“Spread out . Relay everything you see to me . ”
Beholder shook his hand . The eyes that had been bunched together flew with the wind . They have a kind of telepathic ability that works within a radius of hundreds of kilometers .
They know what lives in Italy, so it will only be a matter of time before they find what they are looking for .
***
A sharp blade goes through a tunnel rat’s chin . There were a lot but he killed all of them . There is no fun in killing them because they are low level .
Cha Jun Sung’s tail wraps around a tunnel rat and absorbs it whole .
Though he gained a stamina that does not tire when he became a mutant, it is not infinite . Since he is a living being, he needs to supplement as much as he uses . He fortunately has not faced a strong enemy yet, so he has not been wounded yet .
If he gets wounded, the balance gets out of hand because he needs to pay attention to recovering the injury in addition to physical stamina . It is difficult to expect smooth flow .
Cha Jun Sung likes the tunnel . Not the tunnel itself but the environment – he likes the dark . This is in the Oriax’s nature, not his own .
Darkness is black like the Oriax . This environment provides him with a protective color without having to do anything, so this feels like his nest .
Cha Jun Sung laid down anywhere and closed his eyes . He does not run around like crazy all 365 days of the year . The only time he is quiet is when he is resting .
Though it looks like he is sleeping but is not very different from usual because he leaves his senses open to capture external dynamics . It is better to say he is recovering psychological stability .
Wing wing!
Several hours after Cha Jun Sung stops moving in the cave .
He can hear the weak sound of bees flying around . It is bothersome and he pretends he does not hear it . It is because he does not feel hostility . He just thought of them as annoying bugs that would wander around and then leave .
But they stopped in one place at one point and floated . Cha Jun Sung left them to stay floating or wander, but suddenly felt unpleasant . It feels like those bugs are watching him .
He compresses a finger to be thin like a needle and stabs the bug to bring it in front of him . He wants to see closely what kind of bug it is .
An eye? Black dots are all over a hazy gray marble embedded with veins . These dots blink as though they are alive .
Cha Jun Sung swells the needle like a chestnut bur and makes dozens of holes in the eye . By instinct, it does not feel like an autonomous creature . The inside becomes quiet . This did not happen again even though time passed . Cha Jun Sung is satisfied and rests in peace and comfort .

Beholder focused while standing in one place and laughed as he opened his eye .
A few weeks had passed since he arrived in Italy . He searched for the new mutant Inferno mentioned in that time, and discovered it not too long ago .
“Kik kik! It is Italy, but it’s pretty far . ”
“Where?”
“Rome . ”
Cha Jun Sung had gone south from Firenze to Rome . It had not been easy to get a sensory circle of the country even though Beholder had sent his eyes . Doing the country in its entirety was impossible, so he had to separate it into parts .
Beholder frowned . He knows why and the irrelevant Medusa has a rough guess .
“The nerve! He killed my eye!”
“It should have fallen back if it saw him . ”
He felt the pain that the piece of him felt from Cha Jun Sung . They have an indirect connection, so the main body is affected when an issue arises with a part .
“I don’t know . I’ll need to scold it until it’s right before death!”
Beholder has taken a hit, but he is being sensitive with something that is not a big deal . Medusa left him alone because she knows his personality well .
From her point of view, Beholder is like a child . He has uncensored emotional ups and downs . He is good-natured at times and evil at others .
His real self of those… . .
‘SE Beholder . ’
He is sneaky and evil . The way that mutants think cannot be the same as with humans because their law and order is the struggle for survival . They think nothing of others’ lives and do whatever it takes to achieve what they want . In these ways, Medusa and Beholder are the same .
“What does it look like?”
“Look like? Like this?”
Tentacles as long and thin as hair draw what Cha Jun Sung looks like on the concrete ground . It is smooth like a knife cutting through tofu . There is no way to be sure of its behavior, but it is a level 8 in ability .
Medusa has a strange expression after seeing Beholder’s drawing . Because it is drawn well? No . The image in the drawing is strangely familiar .
“Red Eye?”
“What are you talking about?”
“I guess you won’t know since you’ve never seen him . This drawing looks like Asia’s Red Eye . There are differences in the small details… but they’re the same overall . ”
“Kik kik! Then is he a brother or something?”
“No . He would be the Black Demon’s son if he’s a brother, but he wouldn’t be here . ”
Black Demon lives in Korea . Could it have come from Asia to Europe to run wild in Italy? That is nonsense . Say that by chance, it came all the way here . Would Black Demon let his son run wild? If he left him alone, Red Eye would get involved .
They only look alike on the outside, and the new mutant is an entirely different creature from them .
“It’ll take a few days . ”
“Hurry hurry!”
Beholder urges Medusa . He gathered and sent his eyes in a line to the place where he discovered Cha Jun Sung . With this, there is no reason for them to stray off path .
